Ohio Democratic Senator Using Antisemitism To Attack Jewish Opponent

“From time immemorial…the Jews have known better than any others how falsehood and calumny can be exploited. Is not their very existence founded on one big lie?–Adolf Hitler Mein Kampf

Josh Mandel, The Candidate of the Big Lie– Sherrod Brown Democratic Candidate For Senator from Ohio

On first glance one would suspect that Senator Brown’s use of the term “the big lie” against his Jewish opponent was an innocent, albeit insensitive mistake. But this Senator has a history of inappropriately exploiting Nazi imagery to make a political point. For example in a prepared speech given on the U.S. Senate floor, he compared Republican governors John Kasich, Scott Walker and Chris Christie to Hitler for their union reforms.

Liberal super PAC American Bridge for the 21st Century, founded by Media Matters’ David Brock started to run Josh Mandel in the Politico before Mandel even formally announced his run for U.S. Senate. His crime? He accepted a $1,000 donation from Rich Iott:

“Rich Iott, the Nazi reenactor who ran unsuccessfully for Congress, donated $1,000 to Josh Mandel?s Ohio Senate campaign, according to the Republican?s campaign finance filing provided to POLITICO by the Democratic group American Bridge.”

What is Brock inferring with the Rich Lott mess? It’s easy, the Media Matters hit-man is inferring that Josh Mandel, who is not only a M.O.T. (member of the tribes-Jewish) but an active member of AIPAC, is somehow weak when it comes to the Holocaust. In February 2009, during Operation Cast Lead, the Israeli government
issued a statement thanking Mandel for his support of the operation.

Brown had a fundraiser in
May 2012 hosted by rabidly-anti-Israel actor Martin Sheen, who funds
the Office of the Americas, a group that consistently attacks the United
States and Israel. Sheen has been arrested outside the Israeli Defense
Ministry offices when he demonstrated against U.S.-Israel military
cooperation.

In June 2011, Brown wrote congratulatory remarks that were read at a CAIR event,
but both he and CAIR have refused to release the text of what he
said. One of the speakers was Imam Johari Abdul-Malik, Director of
Outreach of Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center in Washington, D.C., which just
happens to be the mosque that was attended by two of the 9/11 bombers
and also Fort Hood terrorist Nidal Hasan. The mosque has had connections
to Hamas for years. But the most revealing fact in
Brown’s dossier is this: from 2007 to 2012, the organization that gave
Brown the most money was J Street, which gave him almost $60,000.

Let me get this straight. Sherrod Brown incumbent Democratic candidate for Senator from Ohio who associates with anti-Israel groups, uses Nazi-like imagery against his Jewish/Israel supporting opponent as well as others with whom he disagrees. Now, the SuperPAC trying to get Mr. Brown elected was created by the guy who runs Media Matters an organization with a long history of Antisemitism. This SuperPAC supporting Mr. Brown can’t oppose Josh Mandel on the issues, so its anti-Semitic boss has them infer that the Jewish Candidate Josh Mandel is an anti-Semite.

The more I look into this race the more I wonder, “Am I on Candid Camera?” Let’s face it the only thing missing from this scenario is George Soros.

Soros, founder of Soros Fund Management LLC, will give $1
million to American Bridge 21st Century and $1 million to
America Votes, spokesman Michael Vachon said in a letter to
“friends and colleagues.”

That’s just what the Brown-supporting American Bridge 21st Century Super PAC needed to fill its resume of hate, a contribution from the world’s riches Jew-Hating, Israel-Hating Jew-George Soros.

Folks, Josh Mandel is being wrongly slandered by a candidate so cynical that he employs anti-Semites to scream Antisemitism. Sherrod Brown should be ashamed of himself. Heck, the entire state of Ohio should be ashamed of themselves if they do not elect Josh Mandel their next Senator.
